Many friends and readers love to ask me, since you are a food blogger and always go for cafe hopping, where would you recommend as the best place for brunch? You guys have no idea how difficult this question is to me! This is simply because there are way too many decent brunch cafe in Klang Valley, i couldn't single out one. However, when people talk about the most popular one, it has to be The Red Beanbag in Publika!
The Red Beanbag can be considered as one of the pioneer brunch cafe in KL, started by a few food and coffee enthusiasts. Since few years ago, this place has been a hit and the fever for good breakfast and coffee never stop. Owner Jason Loo is also one of the most successful barista that made Malaysia proud with several barista championship winner under his belt. I've been here a couple of times and was never disappointed by their amazing service and good quality food. You can check out my previous visit to RBB here!
Whenever we visit RBB, i'll make sure to get myself a cup of coffee and a breakfast item. For this visit, i ordered a cup of cappucino as usual as well as Skyscrapper. Laine had Portobello Pancakes while Jo had a simple Banana Bread. A meal is never complete without dessert. We had a slice of Salted Caramel Cheesecake with Peanut Butter for sharing. Their menu is actually quite simple, with The Light Side and The Dark Side. The dark means something heavier and in huge portion.

For starter, i enjoyed my cup of cappucino in The RBB. It was rich and creamy, earthy and fruity but somehow, it was quite average, without any specific attraction to it. Latte art was ordinary without any creativity. My skyscraper pancakes was a little bit too sweet, flat and not as fluffy that the menu claimed to be. Fruits and syrup were too little to moisten the dish. However, Laine and Jo were pretty satisfied with their dishes. Lastly, our cheesecake was too dry and flavours were not well combined.
To be honest, i was pretty disappointed with The RBB this time around. I wonder what could have went wrong during the past 2 years. I hope that the execution and quality will be greatly tweaked and improved. There will always be some more cafe and restaurants that will kick yo a** yo! Anyways, i hope you enjoy the photos above, have a great week ahead!
